I have used the bettle spins some here in N La. I usually use a little mini cast rod with a spin cast real on 6 lb test line. I have used numerous colors - just take several combinations and try to find the one that works best. I like the black head with white and anything chartruse. I've fished it several different ways but the one i like is to pitch to the bank and hold the rod tip up and reel slowly back to boat. I ffishing heavy cover let it ride just above the cover and use a stop and go with the reel. If fishing logs pull down or over the logs and let it fall. Usually they will hit it on the fall. Well, that's the way I do it and there are probably a hundred other ways out there. Good luck!!Originally Posted by kenmc77777
